Supergirl: Season Two Ratings

Published: May 23, 2017

Last season, Supergirl aired on CBS but the ratings weren’t strong enough for it to stay on the network. The TV show’s now moved to The CW. Will many viewers follow the superhero series? Will it be a hit in the ratings on the smaller network — even though the numbers will be much lower? Cancelled or renewed for season three? Stay tuned.

Supergirl revolves around Superman’s cousin, Kara Zor-El (Melissa Benoist). As a girl, she survived Krypton’s destruction by being sent to Earth where she was raised as a human. She kept her powers a secret and now, as an adult, works as an assistant at a big city media conglomerate. Kara’s existence becomes known to the world and she is enlisted by a super-secret agency to help protect the citizens from evil forces as Supergirl. The rest of the cast includes Mehcad Brooks, Chyler Leigh, Jeremy Jordan, David Harewood, Floriana Lima, and Chris Wood. Recurring actors this season include Calista Flockhart, Ian Gomez, Katie McGrath, Lynda Carter, Brenda Strong, and Tyler Hoechlin.

The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

For comparisons: The first season of Supergirl on CBS averaged a 1.68 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 7.68 million total viewers (Live+SD).

Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.

Everyone has there on opinion well me i like supergirl and glad its comimg back.For you guys who dont like it just stop watching it and thats the end of the story for ya for us who like it will continue to view it

Renew the supergirl tv series ive been recording every episode and i look forward to the next adventures and dangers that await her that she always overcome its a fun show and should be around for a very long time

The show originally was fun and Melissa played a great adorable light-hearted super girl. The show now is filled with left wing PC feminist BS and is unwatchable and should be cancelled. Anyone familiar with SJW nonsense will immediately see its influence. I feel bad for the actors with what is now an obvious agenda driven show that is frankly embarrassing. Good riddance to this garbage.

Season 2 is awful. Superman is being a Whiny baby that the DEO holds kryptonite that could hurt him. Yeah they hold bullets that can hurt normal people too, he doesn’t seem to have a problem with that.

Sorry but the political bs has just gone to far. The overarching theme about immigrants, lgbtq issues galore, making evil aliens talk about making things great again… I withstood all of it but when they knocked out superman with an uppercut that lifted him off the ground maybe 5 feet… and he was out for hours… hell no That man has fallen from space and created a crater, people have shot him in the face and he didn’t even blink. You think some little punch like that would even phase him? I mean they literally just threw each other out… Read more »

Let’s see their message is the “future is female”, Lex sister is “smarter” than he is, Kara’s boyfriend is a cuck, his mother kills his father, and Super girl physically beats superman… The show is a feminist/SJW/PC joke and should be trashed.

Poorly written & wasteful of viewer time. First half of the season was about a side character’s garbage coming out story. The second half was split between constant updates on that garbage story and Supergirl’s love interest’s family drama. Which may sound harsh but is still true. Basically the producers/writers decided to pander to a certain group; “shippers,” rather than tell logical stories. And I do mean that literally, whole episodes DO NOT make sense. Really, the entire season DID NOT make sense. The political messages were divisive, preachy, and idiotic. The writers on this show are simply not good… Read more »

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, don’t cancel “Super Girl”!! I love all of her adventures! My heart would break if you cancelled this show! We need more women as Super Heroes and she’s been a great example for girls and women of all ages. This show is excellent and “Kara Danvers”, is wonderful as a woman who fights evil doers while still being vulnerable to love! By the way, I’m 61 years old and I hope to see the show renewed (you left me out of your target audience and there are many more like me)!!

Supergirl is one of the best shows on television. Those who mention the political “left” and complain about it–what is wrong with the motto, “Stronger Together”? As a culture, we will be much stronger if we stand together and support each other through bad times, as well as celebrate good times together. That’s the heart of Supergirl. Mitch McConnell is a horrible politician who is filthy rich and cares nothing about people who don’t have money. I love the way Supergirl uses political terminology to point out how politics of hate and division are not only incorrect–they weaken us as… Read more »

I liked Season 1. It was far from being a perfect show and the writing sometimes was cringeworthy but it was a light and fun show and I liked the connection between the charaters, especially Kara/Alex/J’onn.
Season 2 doesn’t feel like it’s about Supergirl but about Mon-El instead. Suddenly everything becomes about him (remember Homecoming? Instead of making it about the Danvers, it focused on Mon-El and all the characters were dumbed down to prop him up. Just one of many examples).
